I called the sales/service rep I dealt with and told him I figured it out. He didnt ask me what I did but only said that it was too late and VZ had already overnighted my new Maxx. Now, do I keep the new one or send it back. The rep told me that as long as I mailed one of the phones back it...

Thanks....I figured it out. I checked my data useage and noticed that my email client, K-9 email, \was pulling about 20x the amount of data over the last few days that it usually pulls. I uninstalled and reinstalled and all appears to be good now.

I would get close to 40 hours of battery life with moderate use. I upgraded to ICS a month ago or so then did the factory reset, and this has been the amount of time I could get on a single charge. Then last week I noticed a dramatic decrease in battery life. Since then I have been able to...

Re: Decrease in battery life with ICS....am I doing something wro To be honest it has sat idle for a good part of it due to it being the weekend and primarily using home phone and my iPad.

Pretty good. Are you mostly using 3G or 4g? I did a factory restore last week. This past weekend my phone sat idle most of the weekend and I got almost 60 hours. I then had moderate use yesterday and was down to 60% after 12 hours which I was disappointed in. What was your useage like?

Re: Decrease in battery life with ICS....am I doing something wro Huge increase in battery life for me. After 25 hours I am at 70%

Re: For those of you that performed a factory reset after ICS.... Did a factory reset yesterday morning. Everything running better now. And best of all I have been unplugged for 25 hours and am at 70% battery. That is a significant increase in battery life for me.

I was just about to do the factory reset on my Maxx when I decided to take out the SD card first. I then noticed that all of my photos (about 50) are being saved onto the phone storage. How do I transfer those pics to the SD card? Also, how do I make it so that future photos taken with the...

Re: For those of you that performed a factory reset after ICS.... Ok - thanks for the reply. I did read in another post the writer indicated to UNCHECK "Back up my data" as well as "Automatic Restore." I am guessing that either way would not matter too much to me seeing that I do not have...

I am experiencing some of the problems that others have reported after upgrading to ICS. My battery life has not dropped dramatically, but it appears to have gotten a little worse. I also have noticed that my cell reception (especially in fringe areas) has decreased. Therefore, I am strongly...

Re: Decrease in battery life with ICS....am I doing something wro I am going to do the factory reset. I have not read any other posts where people are saying to uncheck "Automatic Restore" and "Back up my Data." Should I eventually recheck these boxes after I am fully restored? Thanks

What did you do with the phone for the past 7.50 hours?

Ok. My contacts and calendar sync with google. Do I need to back up anything or just sign into google?

That thread does not say what I need to backup and how to restore back. Also, how does about 42 hours of battery life sound with moderate use? Thanks

I get about 42 hours of battery life before the phone powers off. This is with moderate use. This includes about 10 hours of complete inactivity while I sleep and get ready for work.
